Speaking to Digital Spy, Valance said that she hopes viewers will accept the new partnership.

"It's been a very different week for me, but we've turned it from something negative and scary into something fun to watch... hopefully," she said. "Fingers crossed the audience will approve of my dancer switch-up."

Valance said that she has formed an "awesome threesome" with Chigvintsev and Cole, but realized that the pair in fact have "very different" techniques.

"Artem's been at training, he's choreographed it, so we're very much an awesome threesome at the moment," she said.

"They are very different teachers and they have very different dance styles. I've learnt over the weeks how Artem moves and I've been able to read him, but now I'm back at scratch again with Brendan. I'm just trying to catch up as quick as I can. We want to make it look seamless.

"They are both very passionate. Artem is more serious. Brendan is more enthusiastic and tries to psyche me up more. I'm just very lucky to get to work with two professional dancers."
